Some words about fuel cells, since most people don't seem to understand them. They run on hydrogen which can be produced in three ways: PEM fuel cells run on hydrogen. FCEL's molton carbonate direct fuel cell runs on hydrocarbons. fuelcellenergy.com FCE has developed a unique type of fuel cell it calls the "Direct Fuel Cell" that is multi-fuel capable. It can utilize natural gas, methanol, ethanol, bio-gas and any other fuel that contains methane. ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ platinum used for a catalyst can be poisoned by sulfer or nitrogen contaminants in the gasoline, To my knowledge no platinum is used in the FCEL direct fuel cells. From the slide show presentation fuelcellenergy.com Uses commonly available materials No noble metal catalyst _______________________________________________ FCELs fuel cell has been developed. It is going into production and will run on natural gas. PEM fuel cells for automotive applications are still being developed by other manufacturers. The comments about hydrogen production and infrastructure are valid for PEM fuel cells but not for Fuel Cell Energy's Molton Carbonate direct fuel cell. Zeuspaul
